This New Zealand vodka with an ancient difference first hit selected bars, restaurants and liquor outlets in early 2007. The Vodka is made with water from an ice age glacier reservoir which was discovered in the Tasman region of New Zealand's South Island. The pristine paleowater is 260 centuries old and according to its maker, Vodka expert Warryn Bermingham, produces one of the world’s smoothest tasting vodkas.

Bermingham who formerly managed the infamous London Revolution Vodka Bars, has spent time studying vodka production in one of its ancestral homes, Poland. He says 26000 Vodka is based on the theory that the quality of the water dictates the quality of the Vodka. It was a chance meeting on the side of the road with a Nelson truck driver that saw Bermingham uncover this “magical” ingredient for his export quality vodka. “I couldn’t believe my luck. Here in our very own Tasman was a 26,000 year old water source. This isolated ocean of paleowater had been hidden away and protected from humans for 260 centuries.“ The water was created after the last ice age ended and huge glaciers retreated towards the South Pole. It became entrapped and for the next 26,000 years went through a natural purification process. Subsequent tests by the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Science confirmed the authenticity of the water and Warryn and his partner Ken Telfar set about creating 26000 Vodka.

”We’ve been given a precious gift and we’re determined to respect that' says Bermingham. 'We only harvest the water in batch amounts to protect this incredible resource.” Each bottle of 26000 Vodka features a time line explaining the product’s historic journey from raw resource to premium product.. The Vodka is made with a triple distilled grain and is now available in Australia in 'pure Crystalline' and flavoured versions of organic Raspberry & Lemon Drop and Lychee.
